PHP Developers Network

So I am working on project and I need to apply pagination to it what I am facing is the choice whether I should develop my own code or should I study the pagination library of Laravel I admit the ideal thing would be to first develop it on my own to see how it works but the issue is that I am at a deadline in training period and I have to learn to explore libraries to develop market oriented apps. So would someone kindly recommend me.

I'd do it yourself for the learning experience. Pagination isn't that hard, really. Total items / items per page is your page count. Current page * items per page is your offset. Beyond that it's really just a SELECT statement.

If it is data in a database, you may need to SELECT COUNT(*) WHERE ... first to get the total records, and then SELECT * WHERE ... LIMIT to get a page worth.
